Demographic doomsday warnings called overstated
Original: Demographic "doomsday" misses the mark
Researchers argue that predictions of catastrophic population decline or demographic collapse are overstated, according to a new comment published in Science. The piece pushes back against alarmist framing of falling fertility rates and ageing populations, contending that current forecasts exaggerate the scale and urgency of the problem. Debate is under way about how worried the world should really be about shrinking populations.
Why now: Falling birth rates and population anxiety are prominent in current policy and economics debates.
